Face-off: Is offshore outsourcing controversy fueled by politics?
[SearchCIO.com]

WEBCASTS:
IMS meets the Web!
If you said Web-enabling a database, most people probably think you mean connecting DB2 to the Web. But IMS, IBM's older database, is just as Web worthy. IMS is geared for fast and frequent access. You can directly attach IMS to the Web or go via CICS or DB2. In this Webcast, Jim Keohane discussed the ins and outs of bringing IMS databases to the Web.

ASK THE EXPERTS:
The mainframe as a viable data server platform
A Search390.com user asked Craig Mullins, our DB2 and database expert:
Would mainframe DB2 as a database be a viable architecture for Internet applications? What would be the pros and cons in terms of technical issues, cost, etc. for having mainframe DB2 as the ultimate database server instead of having several database servers on WLU platform? Should migrating existing Web applications on Unix UDB to mainframe DB2 be considered? Are other shops doing something similar?

Yes, Virginia, they can steal your dreams

This little gadget could be a real dream. Or a real nightmare -- it depends on what you're up for. Japan's Takara Co. is literally selling dreams. You load a picture of the person or place you want to dream about into a device, record the name of the person or place and pick some mood music. The dream machine plays it all back several hours later when you're in downtown La-La Land. It's certainly not something you want pranksters
to get hold of -- imagine someone stealing it off your nightstand and recording Carrot Top's name. Talk about shattered dreams! So far, the Dream Workshop has a 22% success rate, but Takara dreams of better numbers.
